...I need to go over my budget again, but I might... actually be able to afford trading in for an EV. Not *easily*, but like, now that Bean's finished school and working and wanting to help out with stuff...

Plus in an emergency we could always put the basement suite up for rent instead of holding onto it for friends-and-family-crash-space.

I know the dealer is lowballing me on trade-in value for my current car, but I just don't have the energy to try and squeeze an extra $1,000 or $2,000 out of private sales.

Depends how much the in-garage charger costs (especially considering I have a high-current line already run professionally when we had the walls open, just needs the appropriate breaker installed), and if the two cancel each other out.
